We didn't meet Egidio as he doesn't live in Bangkok, but communication was great and he provided all the information we needed to get to the building arranged access to the apartment even though we arrived in the late evening. Obviously, there is a slight concern with an absentee landlord, but Egidio always responded very quickly to any queries, and he seems to have a great relationship with the staff at the Seed Mingle, who are excellent - we had an issue with a leaking tap that was resolved very quickly.

The apartment is clean, and as it appears in the photos. It is extremely well appointed, with everything we needed for cooking and cleaning.

The location is great. There is a 7/11 and Family Mart just outside the door, many restaurants, both indoor and street food, on the street outside, and a wet market 3 minutes walk away.

The only slight drawback is the distance to the BTS and MRT, but there is a reliable bus service on the main street, along with plenty of took-took, motorbike drivers and taxis. Motos to the nearest BTS are a fixed price (30 baht), and it was easy to negotiate with took-took drivers to take two of us to the same destination for around 40.

All things considered, we had a lovely stay in a great apartment.

Just because we didn't see it noted anywhere else, I'll just add that to get to the swimming pool, gym and games room you have to leave the residential building, go to the car park next door, and take the lift to the top floor.
